Experts will be speaking about these issues to awaken public and media
interest in solving today's global social and environmental crises by
revealing and examining little known solutions to problems of the
environment, government/corporate secrecy, crime, illegal drugs, and
the violence rampant in our communities and around the world.

Leading scientists, traditional spiritual practitioners, and peace/justice
activists will come together for three days of events from February 26 to
March 1st 1999 by offering practical messages which will be carried by
the Global Peace Walk to the United Nations and Washington, DC,
this Fall, and next year's Global Peace Walk2000 from San Francisco.

There will be a local Global Community Peace Walk on Friday, February 26,
from Oakland City Hall after a 9AM press conference to a Noon Rally at UC

other student groups.

On Saturday, February 27, at People's Park in Berkeley, an afternoon Global
Peace and Love Festival will take place starting with a circle of hands
ceremony at noon, music and speakers from 1-5PM, followed by a Global
Peace Prayer Vigil & Council.

On Monday, March 1st, from 10AM-4PM a Global Crisis Solutions Conference
will take place at the UC Berkeley Alumni House hosted by two prominent Cal
PhD alumni, Drs. Fred Wood and Brian O'Leary. They will discuss new physics
discoveries about the nature of human consciousness and the scientific

nuclear power and fossil fuel power, neutralizing radioactive wastes, and
improving human health.

This message will be further enriched by comments from Stephen Kaplan,
